FAQ

I’m sorry, what was your name again?

This is truly my most frequently asked question. I have the hardest time saying my own first name, probably due to a decade of playing the French Horn and “tah-ing” all my Ls. Nine times out of ten baristas and deli clerks have to ask me to repeat myself, and then I get flustered and it comes out even worse and they end up raising their eyebrows and writing Wolth or Gill or Willon on my cup.

What’s with the bees?

I have a fair number of bee tattoos. I got them because to me bees are pure, ancient, lightning-grade magic, right up there with books.

Are you open to interviews or school visits?

Yes! I love talking about books and writing and being an author. Please reach out through the CONTACT tab for details. Professional matters, such as blurb requests, should be directed to my literary agent, Brent Taylor, also through the contact tab.

Will there be a sequel to The Language of Seabirds?

I hope so, but it really comes down to my publisher. I would be over the moon to get to share the next stage of Jeremy and Evan’s story with you.

Are you working on any new books?

I’m currently working on the fifth School for Wicked Witches book, and I’ve got four Formula 1 adventure books coming up from Penguin. I’m also working on a couple books for grownups as well as playing with a few YA outlines. I have whole notebooks of project ideas waiting in the wings, so hopefully I’ll get to keep putting out new stories and adventures for a long time to come. It’s my very favorite thing to do.
